[Loop section where riff is played over drums for first time and store - then just have solo sound on in background and either play little lead lines or the piano part or that chromatic riff which repeats in certain sections - Can try the F and C section]
[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums] (notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[Verse] Big wheels keep on turning Carrying me home to see my kin Singing songs about the southland I'm missing old mammie once again And I think it's a sin, yes
[Riff] Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her (oo, oo, oo) Well I heard old Neil put it down Well I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus] Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Solo 1] In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit) Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
[Chorus] Here I come Alabama
[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah] [Riff]
[Verse] Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo) And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do) Lord they give me oh so much They pick me up when I'm feeling blue Now how about you?
[Chorus] F to C bit at end [Chorus]
[Loop Notes] 1. Practise stop for G to F 2. Solo ideas - start with that bend 15th fret on E - 2 note phrase then tap high note - - that 2 note per string thing seems to work - 35 35 45 45 35 35 - fast line that works is G - 14 B 12 13 15 13 12 - try a bit of G minor as well but with stay away from minor 3rd - try the open strings bit - but on G string - 4p2p0 and variations of - the play the 'ah ah ah' bit - B - 15 13 12 and play the triads around later
